"Aunt Hellen!" I cried, "What were the ingredients for th..", I stopped, "Aunt Hellen, are you okay?"

I went to call my friends, Jessica, Jane, Stephanie and Cookie, their dog. We lifted my aunt onto the bed with wheels. We hurried even though it was 11 to the small hospital-blocks away. I wondered what had happened.
